Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Ligularia sibirica thrives in consistently moist soil. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to prevent the soil from drying out. Aim for even moisture without waterlogging.
In hot weather, it may require daily watering. Check the soil moisture regularly by touch.
Deadhead spent flower stalks to encourage a tidier appearance and potentially a second bloom. Remove any yellowed or damaged leaves as they appear.
Cut back the entire plant to the ground in late autumn after it has finished flowering and foliage has died back.
Ligularia sibirica is best propagated by division of established clumps in early spring or autumn.
Carefully dig up the plant and separate the root ball into sections, ensuring each division has healthy roots and at least one growth bud. Replant divisions immediately.
Repotting is generally not required for established Ligularia sibirica plants as they are typically grown in the ground. If growing in a container, repot every 2-3 years in early spring into a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix to refresh the soil and provide more space.
